This version has some nice extra additions, bringing iOS up to date with the features on Android and desktop. One addition is the ability to customize the output when viewing and sharing a roster (allowing you to cut out the points values, rules and profiles), giving you the option to remove things before sharing your list online.

Sharing overall has been improved, and now you can share via services other than just email (Twitter and Facebook are notable examples). This is especially useful if you're using Dropbox to sync your data as you are now able to share a link to a roster file stored in Dropbox. This link can be easily be posted to social networks or forum posts and BattleScribe users just have to click it to open your roster.

Release Notes:

Added options to customize the output when viewing a roster. For example, remove points, profiles and rules to make the output "legal" to post on a forum.

Share or copy a link to a roster file stored in Dropbox. This is great for sharing your roster via Twitter, Facebook, on forum posts etc.

Improved sharing of rosters (as text or Dropbox link) - you can now share straight to Facebook and Twitter.

Speed improvements when preparing data.

Added ability to delete all rosters from the menu in Manage Data (for emergencies!).

Installing BattleScribe this way allows you to easily launch it from the Dock or the Applications folder (with proper icons!), skins the UI with a better theme for OSX and integrates BattleScribe with standard OSX features like the application menu bar.

Hopefully this will make it much nicer for Mac users to install and use BattleScribe in a way that's more familiar to them.

There's a few nice bits and pieces added in this version, bringing the Android up to the same level of features that the desktop version has. Notably, this means the addition of options to customize the output when viewing your roster (I've been meaning to add this for ages...).

Also, for Dropbox users, you can now share or copy a link to a roster file stored in Dropbox. This makes sharing your roster via social networks, forum posts etc. a whole lot easier as you don't need to upload the roster file anywhere yourself - people can just click the link and open your roster file straight from Dropbox :)

Improvements to data import. Imported rosters will be renamed if required (instead of replacing an existing roster).

And here's the latest version for Android, mostly a few tweaks and bug fixes. Moving on to get this added to the iOS version now.

Release Notes:

Fixed incorrect error messages when creating lists that use percentage min/max limits for categories or forces.

Re-introduced a loading screen when first starting the app, which speeds up loading later on.

Roster list now properly sorted and better shows details of each roster.

"Conflicted copy" files in Dropbox are ignored.

Possible* fix to issue where some people get stuck "preparing data" when trying to open a roster from Dropbox.

Fixed points totals not calculating correctly for modified entries that are part of an entry group.

(Pro) Fixed crash when loading a favourite where the entry does not exist any more.

* This seems to be a very occasional problem for a small number of people. I was unable to re-create the problem on my end, but I've tweaked a few bits which I hope should make things more robust. Please contact me if you still get this problem!
